Note
So March is gone, April is here.
* 45 hours? <40. But two races that required some tapering. Hadn't planned either of these, both worthwhile.
* 100 miles running? Yup!
* Concerted efforts at core … I've been doing some planks during the day, so that's … something.
I did manage to ski 10 days, and averaged 29k each of those days. Of course, one of those days was 100k, which was great. So glad I did that.
We're on to April … and I signed up for the Don't Run Boston 50k. So that's dropping some miles. How about 200 miles. There's a law against rollerskiing, so I won't be on wheels, and spring skiing looks thin. Certainly some trails, and some longer weekday runs on road or trail. That should get me to 30 hours, but I should shoot to 40. Maybe some orienteering? Maybe riding bikes? And more core, keeping up some daily planks, adding other things in.
Oh and I would like to get a goddamn vaccine. If I had a goddamn vaccine, I would buy a ticket to Anchorage. Kincaid has 2 feet of snowpack, hasn't been above 41˚ since December 2, and looks like it won't get warm for a while.

Run 1:02:59 [1] 7.85 mi (8:01 / mi) +32m 7:55 / mi

So I've gotten into vaccine hunting.
1) Lots of (now-gone) availability at the Berlin Walgreens. I called and they said if you were an out-of-stater with an appointment they don't care. But that's 6 hours of driving, and the skiing up there looks decidedly meh.
2) A friend posted about some secret process for the extra vaccines at BMC. Basically it is as follows:
* Go to BMC at 5 a.m. to get a ticket
* Go back at 6 p.m. and they'll call you in order
* If they don't get to you, they'll give you a lower ticket for the next evening, so you only have to go in the morning once.
It's like getting concert or World Series tickets in 2004. The system is so dumb (although for this it's probably better than a big queue every afternoon). But … I'll participate.
I went today because sometimes they give out afternoon tickets, but there were none today. Still, I was able to observe the process, and confirm that there were few if any holdovers, so if I were to go Friday morning, I'd have a good shot.
